(And writing them kept the immediate future team amused for at least a whole afternoon!) Any definitions you want to add? Email us at info@immediatefuture.co.uk | |

| Term | Definition |
| Skype | Skype is a cool bit of software that lets you make free calls over the internet to anyone else who has Skype. You can also call landlines and mobile phones at a really cheap rate. And send messages, files, and other stuff. Oh, and the emoticons are really cute too. |
| Social bookmarking | Social bookmarking is when you share your favourite or bookmarked websites on a public web based service such as del.icio.us. The list of your favourite sites can be then be shared with others who have similar interests. It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling doesn’t it? |
| Social currency | Social currency is used to define the value that people have in a social setting: some people are rich, rich, rich whilst others are overdrawn. Social currency is also something that provokes interest and quickly gets passed around. Like a joke. So a man walks into a bar. Ouch. |
| Social media | Social media refers to the technology used that enables you to reach a worldwide audience. Like…instantly. And unlike old media, social media such as blogs, wikis and forums, give your reader the right to reply. Like…instantly. It’s all instant. Like coffee. |
| Social media release (SMR) | A social media release is a news release that uses social media features like blogs, podcasts and news feeds and will also include links to information and resources. This allows a journalist to cover the story with greater ease and gives them more time to enjoy in the pub. |

Plug-insPlug-ins are small software modules that add multimedia functions to an application. Web browsers use plug-ins such as Flash to expand the type of formats they can see such as video, music or animation. Plug-ins are also what guys get when they’re going bald.
